STORY OF THE YEAR COME OUT SWINGING WITH NEW MUSIC AND TOUR
St. Louis rockers Story of the Year have unleashed a hard-hitting new song, "To the Burial," today in anticipation of their upcoming US tour with The Devil Wears Prada and All That Remains.
From the opening echoes of singer Dan Marsala to the huge metal riffs and a soaring solo from dual guitarists Ryan Philips and Phil Sneed and snarling bass of Adam Russell backed by the punk rock pummeling of Josh Wills, "To The Burial" comes out of the gates with the only one agenda....to kick ass. The new song will be available for purchase on iTunes on Dec 1.
Having spent the last year doing light tours in the US, Brazil and Japan before locking themselves in the studio for the remainder of the time, Story of the Year have emerged rejuvenated and ready to rock. Fans are encouraged to follow the band's Twitter page (@storyoftheyear) for news, updates, contests, free tickets and more!!

Minneapolis Up and Coming Popsters On North American Tour
Dynamic Pop rockers Sing It Loud will be taking their arena friendly power chord fueled anthemic sound on the road for the Taco Bell “Cheap Date” Tour along with Texans Forever the Sickest Kids, Bryce Avary’s The Rocket Summer and My Favorite Highway beginning this October 27th. After a stint inciting youthful pandemonium to crowds across the country on the 2009 Warped Tour with their perfect melding of vocalist/guitarist Pat Brown's love of pop punk with fellow guitarist/vocalist Kieren Smith's affinity for the classic fist pumping celebratory rock and roll of bands’ like Kiss and Def Leppard, the young Minneapolis rising stars are currently in the studio recording the follow up to their Epitaph released debut album Come Around which was produced by fellow Minneapolis resident and band supporter Josh Cain of Motion Picture Soundtrack.
“Sing It Loud craft sugary, synth-heavy pop anthems that demand the assistance of a stadium sized audience.” – Alternative Press

English folk-punk singer-songwriter Frank Turner will make his triumphant return to the US on Nov. 1 where he will join up with "The Revival Tour" alongside Chuck Ragan (Hot Water Music), Jim Ward (Sparta), Tim Barry (Avail), Joey Cape (Lagwagon) and Dave Hause (The Loved Ones) among others.
After an unprecedented year touring with The Offspring and The Gaslight Anthem and generating enthusiastic press, Turner continues his non-stop trek across the US winning over audiences with his phenomenal live show. Fans that have seen his riveting performances don't walk away merely content on seeing a great performer, but feel the need to spread the word of Turner's passionate music and heartfelt lyrics.
Turner is touring the US in support of his recently released critically raved about third studio album, Poetry of the Deed. Called "his finest work" (Portland Mercury) and his "most consistent record yet" (NME), "Poetry of the Deed is a superb record that should shine a light on Turner not only as a brave new and, most importantly, thoroughly unmanufactured talent in the murky waters of the British singer-songwriter, but as a guy with a guitar slung over his back who can command venues from living rooms to huge concert halls" (BBC Radio 1).
Don't miss one of this generation's most endearing and gifted new singer-songwriters live this Nov.

Bring Me The Horizon premiered their brand new video for "The Sadness Will Never End" today! This is the fourth video from their critically acclaimed sophomore album Suicide Season. The video was filmed in the middle of the night in a suitably barren forest in September with Director Adam Powell and RSA films ("The Comedown," "Chelsea Smile"). Featuring a guest appearance by Sam Carter, vocalist for upcoming British band Architects, and the first ever narrative for a BMTH video.
Taking inspiration from cult Swedish vampire flick ‘Let The Right One In’, the video portrays the relationship between two children who meet in the woods one dark night as well as live vignettes of BMTH playing in the middle of the forest. Check it out above!
